After that butchering I took the growth lead lol I have mine under an HPS too because I'm an idiot and totally forgot that I needed to buy a new MH bulb, since I'm an idiot(again) and never noticed that damn plastic sheet over the wing reflector and after a month it fell on the lamp and melted....oooooops I must say it was literally impossible to see, even after half of it fell down I was like wtf cuz I couldn't see the other half stuck to the reflector because it was so clear and invisible. At least with the Apollo reflector they use yellow plastic sheet so you can see it.

I'm going with a higher net though so I kinda want some stretch too so I can start net training sooner. MH should be here this week though.

Ooooooh shit! lol Thank God nothing bad came of that! I'm gonna see how she does with the HPS in veg, if she stretches really bad i'll just buy a 400w metal halide.

LMAO I only noticed my reflector had a BLUE!!! protective plastic on it after my first grow finished -- in my case, the plastic got firmly bonded to the reflector near the bulb. :bigjoint:

Mustve made a fine stink when the plastic fell onto your bulb! :shock: lol

hey you chatterboxes, thanks for giving me hell catching up after being offsite for a few! :P

Stick, how far away are you leaving the light?
I took pix of mine the other day and forgot to lower the light till the next day (still in veg with MH), it was like 1m away. It seems that triggered my clones to stretch, so that may be a way to get those really tight plants to lighten up a bit! :bigjoint:

Way hey, look whos back! Can't wait to see the pics of your girls!
I also did that on my first grow, but went away for a week, opened the tent WHOA!!! It had tripled in size, but luckily it strengthened up!
I've got the 400 about a foot away from how close I normally keep it to try and get her to stretch, she's having none of it, so I raised it a bit more this morning! She does seem to be growing nicely though. The second leaf set is now coming out, I think it will probably amount to about 5 weeks veg.
Good to see you back :-P

LOL @ triplesizing!! I bet that was kind of scary haha

I'm guessing raising the light still more is a good move -- in any case, it'll be really interesting to see whether a 100% indica like yours will react at all to that!

And I wouldn't be too sure about long veg time, given your girl has that amazing DWC explosion of growth still ahead of her - I bet she will get into good form really quickly then!

Oh and yes! I've finally begun posting the Dawn-clones story: https://www.rollitup.org/t/badly-mistreated-clones-saved-by-vermicompost-extract.903635/

I raised the light some more but in general she looks like she has got bigger and fatter over the past 12 hours, looks like the growth spurt might be here?
................ Thats for one shoot anyway..........
I don't know how it has happened but one of the arms has snapped right where it joins the main stem! :cry:
All the leaves look erm.... Trying to think of the word..... Fucked! lol i've done a bit of a repair job, I hope it heals otherwise I will just have a plant with one arm lol
What a cock head I am lol:-?

God danmit Stick you too!!! I just fricken split my main stem almost a centimeter deep between the two new sprouts made from topping the main. I'm sure it's going to recover but will slow growth. My leaves look...fucked...too lol they're like this weird wrinkly. Not worried about that tho, just waiting for that ole growth spurt to come. Roots look fantastic, have grow huge already and she has gotten a good thirst too.

We really gotta quit breaking shit man

Look how much I left on as well so this wouldn't happen lol
Fuck sake, this is gonna be one weird plant if she only has one arm! If worst comes to worst I will just have to make 6 colas off the one arm. Oh well whats done is done.

Hmmm a lopsided plant lol atleast you could still do 6, not too far off 8.
My leaves look similiar to your highest up leaves, that like bloated wrinklyness haha

Here's a pic of my ball of leaves and my fuck up

Ouch! That looks just like how I broke mine last time! Fingers crossed she heals mate!
And yep I suppose 6 is better than nowt, but I think this is going to affect my yield badly! Its so frustrating the amount of time that it has took to get here, and it is so easily fucked up!

Yeah I'm a bit worried but I had snapped some branches last time that basically ended up being supercropped and they grew a nice knuckle and carried on so hoping the same for this style break since its still attached...really don't know tho.

I hear ya man, time is always ticking it sucks. If you think it's going to take a big impact on yeild I'd say throw the old bucket in there with a new seed and let it run out, you won't get much veg time but atleast fill up the canopy. Considering you have a seed you don't mind running like that.
